I just had my second appointment with JR to get my hand tattoo darkened up and get my 11-year-old daughters ears pierced. Just like my first time here it was a great experience! Hes so friendly and a great conversationalist, my daughter enjoyed it immensely hanging out there with us. 100% hes my guy for tattoos and piercings and I wont go anywhere else. Thank you, JR!!
We made a spontaneous decision to get a piercing done for one of my kids. Wed called around to a few spots and he was able to fit us in. His studio is amazing. He made us feel welcome and comfortable. Not at all in a hurry even though he was near closing. My daughter is nervous about needles but hed easily started a conversation with both of us and she was so distracted that he was done before either of us realized he was going for it. His price was standard for the piercing we paid for. He made sure he told her what to expect as far as aftercare and what the healing process would be like before and after the service was done so we had plenty of time to ask questions and be sure that we understand what it would be like. I was glad we got to go there and meet him because we will definitely be going back
Blue Ring Studio is amazing! The owner was super chill and easy to talk to and the experience of getting the tattoo was amazing! It didn’t hurt at all and it came out amazing! I would recommend this Shop to anyone who wants a tattoo.
JR is always super helpful with the Do/Don’t of a new piercing, and always has awesome pieces to choose from! I always have the best experience and feel welcomed in whenever I visit with him. Definitely will be back for more!
LOVE IT HERE! Such amazing customer service. He was very informative and made me feel super comfortable through the whole process. I loved the options of jewelry you could choose from, and not just those plain old silver balls. 10/10 experience! Definitely coming back for more work and 100% would recommend coming here!
I cannot express in this review how amazing JR is I knew this was the shop to go to as soon as I walked in and had my first interaction with him. He did a tattoo on my neck and made it exactly how I wanted it and the process was so easy as the time definitely goes by quick and easy as he can definitely hold a conversation and is informative of how the tattoo is going. Can’t wait to go back and get more work done! Definitely the best shop in town hands down no one else compares!
Amazing company, I got to geek about the 1989 Jack Nicholson when he played the joker, definitely helped me feel more at ease! The owner definitely knows how to crack jokes and help you feel welcomed! Truly the best experience♡
J.R. is extremely cool ,polite and does some of the best work Ive ever seen. I sent photos of the work he did from Rhode Island to Oregon and it was the consensus. It is superb thank you. And cant wait to finish.
Went many many years ago, had a great experience! Went back yesterday and will always hit up blue ring tattoo for my piercings or tattoos. Hes fantastic! His helper is super great too!5/5 highly recommend
JR is such a good artist that I’m willing to travel 400 miles from the Oregon coast to Caldwell, Idaho to get quality work. He makes sure his vision of the art matches what you have in mind. 100% recommend him to everyone I know.
JR Flores comes highly recommended by me, A very talented artist and designer. He will make you feel comfortable, confident and is very sanitary while delivering you exactly what you want your piece to be. Both my wife and I are thrilled with his work and will continue to be lifelong customers !!
J.R. Is awesome! He does great work and has amazing conversation while you’re sitting in the chair. I will be going back to complete my sleeve with him for sure!
I had my ears repieced,not only pain less,but a very pleasant experience.Since he didnt have to pierce my ears ( he opened the old holes) I was not charged for piercing,he could have charged for it but was a honest man.Very friendly, clean, if I know anyone that needs his kind service, Id recommend him in a heartbeat
Absolutely impressed with the vibe of this shop. J.R. Is honestly one of the best humans I’ve met. He got us in on short notice for tattoos and we absolutely love the detail. I will definitely be back for some future work.
Recommend 10/10 for piercings. I got my nostril repierced here by JR. He was so cool, and made me feel comfortable right off the bat, which is nice because I’m kinda of awkward haha. He explained everything very thorough, and even showed me new needle, as well as disposing of the needle he used which I think is awesome and all artists should do. Cool guy, clean and cozy shop, great piercing. I’ll be back 👍🏽
I took both of my daughters here to get their belly buttons pierced. He was friendly and made them feel comfortable. The shop was clean. We were in and out quickly.
Definitely will be coming back for more piercings! Got my nostril done and he explained the whole process! Answered my questions thoroughly and had even shown me the new needle and showed me disposing the old needle as well, had never seen that before! Made me very comfortable throughout the process.
What an amazing experience. JR made sure I was comfortable and explained the process as we went. Very personable and laid back. I absolutely love my tattoo ❤️ Great pricing as well! Definitely will be coming back and recommending him!
I love the threadless jewelry here! Some really unique pieces and so so much to choose from. JR is awesome! Ill continue to come back and refer people.
This was the best piercing experience I have ever had. He not only made me feel comfortable but was extremely clean with the entire process. He made sure he showed me that the needles were brand new and sharp contained the one just being used. J R is not only an awesome piercer but a rad dude! Check him out for piercings!
The owner is great guy and amazing at his art. We will definitely be going back to him from now on.
I’ve been coming to this shop for about 2 years now to get my tattoos done! And every time I do JR blows me away with his artwork and skill. He’s a down to earth and funny guy, and at the same time he is helpful and shows his knowledge when it comes to the tattoo industry!
Im so excited about my tattoo JR did for me! Its so impressive that I can give such a choppy idea of what I imagine and get such a beautiful piece of art. JR is so great at what he does.
This was my first tattoo, coming from someone who has a hard time putting stickers on things, this was a big decision. Super friendly and professional and I liked his work so I put a deposit down and set a time. Bad luck the night before my appointment someone decided to drive into his shop forcing him to reschedule me. He was very professional again and got me back in as soon as he could. Day before my appt he had some time and offered me a day early so I jumped at it. During the 2.5 hours I had lots of questions and he answered all of them and it made the time go by very fast, all while talking about music and just having a good time. Not to mention very clean and never re-uses anything. Im super happy with the results and will be recommending him and probably going back for more.
Ive only ever been tattooed by JR. I just got two more a few days ago and they are wonderful! Hes just such an easy person to talk to a shoot the bull with. His art is so crazy good! And the finished product is always something Im so happy and proud to have! Plus the shop is always very clean, he doesnt reuse anything. I feel very safe getting a tattoo there knowing its as sanitary as he could possibly make it.Plus his shop is really cool to be in, I love all the collectables!I dont think I could ever say too many nice things about this shop!
Went in to get a matching tattoo with my daughter. JR is so awesome! He has a great setup, and just the entire vibe of his space is really awesome! Really kind and professional! Ive also purchased some jewelry from him in the past and let me tell you, they are really sparkly which I love. I will definitely be going back again!
J.R was super professional and polite. I loved his vibe and his shop! Super happy with my new art♥️ Thank you so much!
He is amazing! I definitely recommend him. The shop was so clean and he was very friendly and inviting. Definitely going back again for my next tattoo.
JR is an amazing tattoo artist, who puts in very detail oriented work in at least 1 if not multiple (if you ask) sketched to make sure you get exactly what you want. He gets the work done very well and in a timely manner compared to other tattoo artists and so far he is the one I will always go back to even when I move out of state. I plan to visit even just to get work done from him (moving all the way to Florida).
JR was awesome! Not gonna lie; I was freaking out. Just needed a forward helix changed out that was constantly ticking my ear off (piercing done elsewhere) and wanted a hoop. Wish I wouldve had my original piercing done by him. He was gentle, kind, and made me relax. Definitely 5 stars! Thanks, JT.
Highly recommended! JR is an amazing artist with phenomenal talent! Very clean, patient and professional. My fiancé and I both had our tattoos done here and are already scheduled for our next visit!
Hands down amazing artist, clean environment, and just a genuine guy! I came to JR to help me memorialize my dog who passed away with a paw print tattoo. From our first communication I always felt like a priority as a customer. He got back to me quickly and was very thorough and thoughtful about the details of my tattoo. While getting my tattoo it was like talking to a good friend....a memorial tattoo is always bittersweet, but JR was so kind and fun to be around that the whole experience was amazing from start to finish. This tattoo has genuinely helped heal my broken heart. I highly recommend and cant wait to come back for more! Thank you again so much, JR!
I Always wanted my nose pierced but was terrified because my ears get infected so easily. Im Super sensitive to Fun earrings and was always forced to wear simple expensive real metals and still sometimes had black marks from real gold. Jr assured me he Only uses titanium. My friend Lexi told me it would hurt for a second and make my eyes water but honestly, I didnt really feel anything!!! He was so gentle and quick. Im past my 4 weeks now so Im excited to go pick out a new stud ☮️Thank you Jr! I had A Wonderful experience in your shop. Maybe well do an anklet tattoo next 😉
JR is hands down the best artist I have ever visited. He maybe be booked out for a while, but get your appointment booked !!! I’ll never see another tattoo artist to have work done on my skin !! 100/10 would always recommend !!
JR was precise and professional and gave me exactly what I asked for. It was honestly quick and easy and he was so nice and was a very fair price! I’ll be back
I had gotten a wave tattoo 14 years ago that had really faded on my foot. It means so much to me because it represents a time of peace and fond memories in my life. I really believe that my tattoo is a point in time story for me.14 years later I reached out to JR and man I could not be happier with the fresh updates JR made to my wave. I just wished I would have scheduled with JR years ago.The refresh brought back so many memories from my past. I am totally in love with my refreshed tattoo and cant wait to work with JR on my next tattoo to remember those times in my life. Thanks JR!
Went and got a piercing today. I had a great experience!! Definitely will be going back in the future.
JR always gets it right! he’s so creative with every tattoo and the environment at the shop is so comfortable and fun! he also has the coolest assistant !
Best experience for piercings Ive ever had! If I had more time up here Id definitely get a tattoo. This is the place to go for sure! JR was so nice and considerate. Definitely made me feel more comfortable about getting it done.
Loved my nose piercing they did!!! Great shop to get anything piercing or tattoo
Hands down Best place to go. JR makes you feel welcome, very personable, a GREAT artist, and very clean establishment. Has done multiple tattoos for me and I couldnt be happier. I highly recommend!!!!
I had a wonderful experience at Blue Ring Studio. I went in for an ear piercing and am so pleased with the piece and his quality of service. He’s got a great selection of jewelry for whatever your taste/style is. Beyond that, I am so impressed with how accommodating and friendly JR is! You won’t find a more personable tattoo/piercing professional as artistically talented as him. I wish I could put ten stars ! Highly recommend!
Very nice studio! Was clean and emphasized safety. The owner and his apprentice in training were both very kind and passionate about what they do! The owner gave me a beautiful first tattoo and made the experience enjoyable.
I got my Medusa done by another piercer and it hurt so bad just for them to change it. He was very gentle when changing out the piercing and was also very sanitary and I love that. 10/10 recommend
J.R. is awesome! He is always super easy going and fun to talk to. He always makes sure his clients are comfortable which is important. Great art and fast piercer! Have gone back to him a few times now, definitely recommend.
I’ve been coming here sense 2019 and don’t feel comfortable going anywhere else or trusting anyone else with my tattoos. From my first tattoo he’s been so helpful with the tattoo service during and after (aftercare ). I love that any time I come he’s super friendly and has even made me feel like family! Myself, best friends, and my family even have come for matching tattoos. I’ve seen people disrespect him and he be cool as a cucumber! All of my tattoos have come out amazing and I can’t wait to continue to go there!
JR did my first tattoo and designed it amazingly! Highly recommend Blue Ring Studio. He isn’t heavy handed and gave me the best experience. I will definitely be going back to him. Very considerate of what the client wants and very talented.
After reading reviews for a few tattoo shops. I choose this one and so thankful I did! I had to reschedule due to being sick. JR was so easy to work with and rescheduled me. I went in today and he was already working on my piece. He was so pleasant it didnt seem like I was getting a Tattoo we talk thru the whole time. I cant wait to think of my next one but at least I dont have to worry who I am seeing! Thank you so much JR!
JR is one of the most professional and down-to-earth tattoo artists around who takes his artistry, the safety of his clients and his business very seriously. He has 10+ years of experience, keeps everything clean and sterile and has a beautiful selection of crystal jewelry with surgical-steel grade metal to choose from. Believe me, you will not be disappointed. Be sure to book ahead and dont miss out because he is one busy guy and for good reason!
JR is the best! He’s done 8 different tattoos for me and they’ve all turned out fantastic. Listens well, isn’t rude with you, and makes you laugh while he works. Cannot say how good a time it is to be worked on by JR!
JR and Isaiah were both super nice and helpful. I was fairly nervous going into it, but they have the kind of vibe that just puts you at ease. He was super accommodating about getting me in for my piercing. He walked me through each step, and was genuinely interested in making sure I was happy with the placement. Believe all the good reviews, they’re worth the hype! Super cool little place I’ll be back for sure
JR is fantastic. He’s established with a very loyal regular clientele, big bonus. He’s really personable and makes it fun to just hang out while you get inked. He’s booked out a couple months but it is WORTH THE WAIT. Super clean shop, amazing art, killer vibes. After going through several artists, I’ve found my permanent tattoo guy.
Wow! I came in to get my philtrum pierced, and was immediately comfortable at the shop! My piercing was super fast and easy! It was executed perfectly ! Beautiful jewelry options, Im definitely happy . Thanks again 💜
JR is amazing. We love him and his wonderful art work. He is friendly and is willing to try anything we ask for. He of course blows anything you ask for out of the water!!! I could not be happier!! Thank you JR and family for all that you do!!! We love love love you all!!!
Great work & service. Had my first tattoo done by JR and I couldnt be more happy with it. Have received many compliments on how it pops. Thanks JR - See you for my next one.
Got tattooed by JR for the first time yesterday. His tattoo skills are amazing, I cant believe how much detail he put into my tattoo. He is also one of the nicest guys you will meet. I felt so comfortable being there.
Blue ring always had the best jewelry and great piercings. Some of my favorites I’ve gotten here. Super cool guy and amazing scenery
JR is such an amazing guy! He got my mom and I in when he didn’t have much time and did a wonderful job on our tattoos. Oh t being our first time he explained everything so well and made us feel super comfortable. We would recommend him 100%
Began my transaction over the phone with the owner, JR, who was professional and very accommodating. I brought one of my kids in for dual brow piercings on a first-come first-serve basis and he was in and done in less than 15 minutes. The atmosphere of the establishment is cozy but vibrant with pop-culture memorabilia that appeals to all walks of culture. JR was professional but jovial, efficient but colloquial, and I will absolutely be bringing him more business. 5 stars is not enough for Blue Ring Studios Tattoo and Piercing.
Very professional, excellent hygiene practices, beautiful jewelry to choose from, and an awesome wall of collectibles to look at while youre getting your work done, too. :D My family has had almost all our piercings done here, and its a great experience every time. Highly recommend!
JR is talented and very friendly , I will definitely be going back...
JR is very talented artist he can do anything and you can be sure it will be done right and it will be beautiful. The place is very cozy, fun and clean. You can also be sure that everything that touches your body is new and clean. You have to meet JR even if its just to say hi, he is very friendly and kind, he also has a light hand and makes sure you are comfortable during your session. Thank you JR for making my first tattoo a fun experience. When I want another one I know where Ill be going.
JR is very personable and kind and easy to talk to! Also very patient. I love the work he did! My nose piercing is perfectly even with the other side. Thanks MAN!
My friend and i came here about a year and a half ago, she got her industrial done and i got my nipples pierced. at first i was scared because it was a man doing them, but he was amazing. i believe hes the owner of the shop. he listened to my requests and somehow didn’t hurt me at all. all i felt was warmth and a little bit of pressure. after we were done, there were people asking if i actually went through with it because i didn’t make a sound. i definitely recommend this place for piercings. at the end, i tried to leave him a decent tip since he did so well, and he literally wouldn’t let me 💀 if i had cash i would’ve just left it there lol. if i stilled lived there, this would be the only place i’d go. i still recommend them to my friends in idaho
Got my first cartilage piercing done here! He was super personable and professional. Really pretty jewelry options. Will for sure be coming back!
Went in to get my double nose piercing jewelry switched out. I came in with heavy bulking jewelry causing irritation and walked out with beautiful light weight jewelry! After helping me pick out what I wanted he changed them out for me, quickly and so gentle! He explained why my old ones were causing irritation and gave me clear advice to properly care for my piercings! Warm, friendly, funny, and soooo polite! I will be returning and recommending to anyone wanting a new forever piercer/tattoo home!
Went there years ago, so maybe theyve gotten their act together since then, but the guy didnt even use a stencil for the small tattoo I wanted. Didnt sketch out the changes I wanted, despite the fact that I was willing to wait. And now, I cringe if I look at it too long. Im actually terrified to get another tattoo because of how much I hated my first experience. Definitely going to get this covered up once I get the courage
JR has created such a welcoming environment and truly values his customers! You feel accepted as soon as you walk through the door. The facility is clean and has very reasonable prices! I’m beyond pleased with my nose piercing and will return to Blue Ring Studio for any piercings in the future! Can’t say enough good- hope others will check it out! Thanks JR:)
If I could give JR at Blue Ring Studios 10 stars I would give above and beyond the best rating for the beautiful work he did with the cover up of my tattoo! JR is honest and doesnt try to sugar coat anything. He has a very laid back approach so he makes the whole experience very comfortable. He is definitely professional when it comes to cleanliness and sanitation in everything he uses in his process. When consulting with him about what I wanted and giving him free reign on design, color, etc. JR came up with this piece that is better than I could have imagined! He answers any questions you may have and he gives plenty of instructions for after care. His prices are decent and I will be going back to add more to the piece I have now because I am so happy with the result, I am in awe of how awesome it turned out for having a cover up done. I was really nervous after 13 yrs since my first tattoo and JR has changed my whole opinion from the overall experience I had in his studio. He also did a cover up on my husbands arm and it turned out awesome so we will definitely be going back to JR because he is awesome and truly a cool guy to do business with here in Caldwell. We would recommend him to anyone!
I stopped in to Blue Ring Studio on a whim, hoping to purchase a new nose post and have it switched out. There were three other customers in the shop, JR was handling them all with ease and made each of us feel welcome. The service was friendly, the shop was clean and JR was very personable. He helped me select the jewelry I wanted and had it changed out quickly and efficiently. There were two other people in there booking tattoo appointments as well, seemed like a neat shop.
Got my nose pierced here last week and Ive been super happy with it so far. JR was super cool and clearly knows what hes doing. I would totally recommend it to anyone looking to get piercings.
The owners awesome and goes out of his way for his customers. This will definitely be my go to spot for any future tattoos or piercings
JR did an amazing job on my half sleeve it couldn’t be anymore perfect. Great environment just all around amazing
J.R. had done some amazing work for me...he has created several pieces for me as well as sticker tattooed ideas I brought to him. He has repaired botched tattoos for me from other shops as well as given a few of my old tattoos a much needed make over. He has successfully tattooed my armpits..my neck..and even both buttchecks (yes you read that right 😊) all of which he maintained a professional and courteous atmosphere. If a clean shop with excellent outcomes is what you are looking for then Blue Ring Studio is your shop!
I originally went in with my friend for moral support, but after seeing what an amazing job JR did, I asked if he had time to tattoo me too. He kindly agreed! He did an amazing job and gave me exactly what I wanted! My tattoo was quick and pain-free! This was my third tattoo and BY FAR the best experience Ive had. JR was kind, funny, and hes super talented!! Ive found my tattoo/piercing shop. I highly recommend him!!
So stoked to have stopped by this shop. I wanted a new earring and walked in and was pleasantly surprised and impressed. He had a fabulous selection of earrings and the shop was clean! He even changed out my earring for me! Would recommend to everyone!
This is an amazing place! His shop was absolutely spotless. JR is a super nice guy and very professional. He will answer all your questions and he is upfront about the cost. He made my daughter feel comfortable and at ease when he did her nose piercing. He earned a customer for life!
My sister and I came in to get a couple piercings and we had one of the best experiences ever! JR was insanely nice, funny and very professional. He was even showed us him throwing away the needles he used just to point out that he doesn’t reuse them! We will definitely be back(:
JR is amazing! I have taken my daughter to him twice, once for a nose piercing and then for her belly piercing, and we had such a wonderful experience. He is honest and very professional. He also cares about his clients health and safety, which is something you dont see very often. I highly recommend him and will definitely continue to go to him for my tattoo and piercing needs.
I got my nose pierced and he did amazing!!!
I just got two tattoos done by JR today. My best friend and me wanted matching tattoos and then we each got our own separate one. I like smaller dainty tattoos and he drew them out absolutely perfect! The shop is clean, his work is amazing, and hewas super friendly and great to talk to. Plus his prices are amazing! If you are looking for someone to do simple small tattoos in the treasure valley you should go to him 100%.
I am visiting from Alaska and I looked up high rating tattoo studios nearby. This place showed up and I figured Id give it a shot. I do not regret going, I am very confident you wont either. JR is the coolest dude ever. Hes very humble, and he makes you feel at home. AMAZING artist! Hes SUPER soft with the needle. I wish I was here longer so I could get more from him! I hope to see you another time. Thanks again JR!🤙🏾
Ive been pierced and tattooed by various artists throughout the years, but none of them rival JR. I just happened to be visiting Caldwell and took a shot with Blue Ring for a group of us wanting tattoos. Now I drive 5+ hours just to see the only person I trust with my skin. JR is always professional and fair, his art and skill speaks for itself, and overall hes just a really awesome person. I cant say enough good things!
Got my ears pierced here. JR was very friendly and very easy to talk to. My piercings came out perfectly placed and level. Super good vibes and super good work. Definitely gonna have to go back.
I have gotten two tattoos from JR and I thought he did a great job! He listens to what you want and ensures you really review your design, before he puts it on your skin. His studio is super clean too! He shows you the equiptment he is going to use by taking it out of the packages in front of you... Super comforting!!!! I very much recommend JR and his mad skill!!!
JR is the man, all around awesome artist and a great human. I have gone to him several times now and he never ceases to amaze me. Hands down the best tattoo artist Ive ever had work on me. Highly recommend!!!!!
Love this place! JR is super nice and so is his lady. I will not go anywhere else to get tattoos or piercings. The studio is always kept nice and clean. He is very professional and cleanly about the disposal of his needles. Also, he does amazing work! I won’t go to anyone else!
This location has a unique, friendly feel to it. Its always clean. JR really listens to requests that you make, and takes time to draft what you want to your liking. He takes his time when doing any tattoo to ensure every part of it is clean and what you expect. With this in mind, he understands time management is an important skill in order to give everyone a great experience. Scheduling in advance is important, so that he can make a spot just to attend to you, and have time to draft the tattoo before hand. While you are getting your tattoo, he is very patient in making sure you are comfortable, and he is a captain conversationalist, taking your attention away from the discomfort of the tattoo. Its been the best experience Ive had getting my tattoo from him and I will go nowhere else
First off you rarely see any place restaurant, hotel or bar with a full 5 stars even after 100 reviews. That should really say something. JR is hella down to earth and a super cool dude. He has a even cooler shop with one of the best selections of jewelry Ive seen. Hes extremely professional but very humble and welcoming. Definitely check this place out if you need a piercing or tattoo.PS I got a dermal piercing from him
Jr has done wonderful by us and continues to! Hes super affordable and kind. He has done both my last tattoo (which has healed wonderfully and looks as bomb as it did when I got it) with a light hand and quicker than I thought possible for it, and my septum! I cant wait for my next idea for a piercing :) my SO just got his done and it looks sick!
What a great place! Clean and very professional! My daughter wanted her ear cartilage pierced for her birthday. I called and Blue Ring Studio could fit us in. He explained everything very clearly to my daughter and did a great job. Today she realized that the ball on her earring was gone we went in and again very professional and willing to help us. Just GREAT SERVICE! Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful, my first tattoo was a total train wreck so I was super nervous about my next one. The environment, his kindness and his knowledge made this a very good experience and he did an amazing job at tattooing what I wanted. Im now a loyal customer for any future works I would like done! Worth every penny!
Very hygienic!. very knowledgable about every question i had about getting my first tattoo i highly suggest this place awesome!!! and jr very cool dude!!!
JR did an amazing job on my tattoo. I took a lot of time to research his previous work and loved his style. He worked with me a lot before I came to get a feel for what I was looking for as I lived out of town. Once I came to Caldwell his ideas made it super easy to decide on how I wanted to proceed with my tattoo. He was very professional while also having an entertaining and awesome personality. His parlor was clean and he was very accommodating. He balanced time between sitting and taking a break well, as I was in there for about a good 7 hours getting my piece done. It came out beautifully, and healed very well. I will definitely be hitting him up again in the future once I decide on what to do next. Thanks JR, youre the man!
JR is amazing. He is personable and does incredible work. While I haven’t been personally inked by him, I have been pierced by him twice. His cleanliness practices are pristine! Incredibly trustworthy. Highly recommend!
A friend of mine and I went in and got a couple piercings done. My friend got her Helix and is extremely happy with not only how it was done but the instructions of how to care for it after and how its healing.I got my dermal dimples done. He did a great job! On the second one it took a little extra work to get it in and he was very patient and gentle until it was put in perfect place. Ive had no problems with them and I think they look fabulous. Also, he noticed I was really shaky and gave me good instruction that helped me calm down in the middle of the procedure and I appreciated that.Were both ready to get another set of piercings done and hell be the only place that we go to!
Me and a family member went to get our nose pierced spontaneously , I called and he wasn’t available but I got a text right after! and got my questions answered about appointments and how much it would cost . We came in while he was tattooing someone and made it just in time before they closed . While we waited outside about 4 groups of people came in and he let them know we were there “in line” so that was amazing . He’s a cool guy . My cousin now wants to go back and get his nose pierced because of how good the price was and how ours turned out . Before the piercing he marked it with pen to see which spot was best and it was perfect (he even read my mind and knew I would want a hoop in the future😂) overall amazing experience and service .I do wish I asked more questions about cleaning and if movement of the jewelry was normal cause I’m now googling a lot of things 😂😂 but I’m for sure coming back in 4 months to get that good deal on new jewelry cause I didn’t have the budget to buy it right away . I wish I could rate 10 stars ⭐️ first real piercing and it was the best experience
Great customer service and very sweet. My daughter relaxed in no time getting her ears pierced. Thanks again 😊👍🏼
My mom and friend and I went in for Daith piercings in hopes to help with our migraines. JR was super professional but chill and patient through the entire process from booking of the appointment to the closing transaction. He was super chill and patient as we picked out our jewelry and pointed us in the right direction for which jewelry type would be best for our situation and need. Awesome location, cool vibe, lots of jewelry options and honestly an all around great experience.
I went in with an idea and he helped me create it plus some for a seriously decent price! Super chill environment to get tattoos and he wont make you feel like just a client, he will get to know you and its a safe space for sure. Will return!
J.R. did a great job with my girls. They got their noses pierced and he was very gentle, very throughout, and he walked them through the entire process. He was very professional and knowledgeable about his business. I recommend him to anyone who is interested in getting something done by him.
Such an amazing experience! This was not my first tattoo, but by far my best tattooing experience! JR made my friend and I so comfortable and at ease as we got our tattoos. He was supportive and frank—telling me what would work and what he wouldn’t recommend and then didn’t make me feel dumb for my tattoo idea like other tattoo artists had. He had a very light hand and was able to achieve incredibly fine lettering that looks amazing. He was also great about opening the new needle and grip in front of us, and disposing of them in his sharps container. There was no doubt in my mind that he runs a clean shop and is conscientious of infections and contamination. I’m so excited to go back and get more work done there. I couldn’t recommend more strongly.
JR is a first class artist. He is extremely clean, pays extra attention to all the details, and was super kind and respectful. I would recommend him to everyone. I am a happy customer.
Jr does absolutely amazing work! Extremely efficient, effective & great quality of work, as well as great prices! Steady & light handed, which is a plus! Very personable & professional. So talented & can do anything you ask for! Gives his honest opinions & advice in regards to the work you are having done.
JR did my first tattoo tonight & I couldnt have gotten a better artist. I had an appointment that fell through at another shop, but Im glad that it did now! Ill be back for more JR! Thank you for the ink! We appreciate your professionalism and fitting me in on a minutes notice!
We just brought our seven year old in to get her ears pierced. JR was AMAZING! Helped put our little one at ease, made everything so quick and easy for us, has a wonderfully large selection of great jewelry, and was super great with our munchkin. I will FOR SURE being going back!!
By far the best I have been to!! Extremely light handed the tattoo came out amazing it was an overall great experience!! I am definitely going to be going back to do more!! Can’t wait!!😁
JR is awesome!!! Hes super professional an very fair on pricing! Ever since I found JR an Blue Ring Studio, I wont get tattooed by anyone else. An his jewelry selection is one of the best around!
J.R. was super nice. I waited until I could schedule with him to get my nose pierced because all of his reviews were great. He cleaned piercing instruments in front of me, explained the process, named all the tools he was using, nonchalantly verified his credentials, made sure I was comfortable, walked me through the aftercare process until I was confident, and was just a really easy person to talk to. I would highly recommend him for piercings!
His work is absolutely beautiful , very skilled artist. If you need something designed , highly recommend going here! The place is super unique as well. I have two tattoos done by him and they get so many compliments , I would never go any where else! He did my belly piercing as well and it was a slight pinch and done! He made it easy and all around is great in his line of work.
Great work. Beautiful tattoos, and a very very friendly/fun atmosphere. Love the vibes going in and actually enjoy my time getting tattooed. Very friendly and welcoming. My designated tatto shop for sure!
I got a piercing done here and it was such a good experience. JR is professional, kind and talented. Will definitely be coming back!
I had a barbell earring that lost one of its balls after 10 years of having it, so I went in for a replacement earring. They suggested a hoop might look cool and it wouldn’t ever fall out because there is no ball to lose. I took their advice and I absolutely love how it looks! Very nice guys and super helpful and friendly!
This is place is beyond amazing. If I could I would give them more stars! JR is so kind and really does do what is best for the client. He makes the space feel safe. Today I got my cartilage pierced and he really explained to me all about what he was doing, I highly recommend seeing him :)
JR did a great job on my daughters cartilage piercing. We highly recommend Blue Ring Studio. Well definitely be going back.
Nothing but 100% admiration for the passion and skill that JR has. Unbelievably talented! I wont let anyone else do any tattoo work on me as long as hes in business. He also has a HUGE selection of jewelry, more than any shop Ive been to in the entire valley. I cant recommend him enough. Humble dude, laid back atmosphere and its always a pleasure to work with him!
I only have two tattoos and they were both done by JR! Hes so humble and genuine! Defiendtly easy to talk to and can really make you laugh. His work is great, I have referred my friends to him because he does an awesome job! Dont think Ill ever go anywhere else!
I got my ears pierced at a different shop in another city, and a few days later I lost one earring and the hole closed up. I was back in Caldwell at this point and I was too scared to try to re-pierce it myself. I called Blue Ring after hours and left a voicemail, and within an hour the owner sent me a text asking what was going on. I explained, and he was able to get me an appointment for 9am the next morning. He made me feel very comfortable and the re-piercing didnt hurt at all! He didnt charge me for the pierce, only the earrings, and even threw in a free bottle of piercing cleaner. Great experience, the owner is clearly a great guy!
Tl;dr: Awesome atmosphere, fun shop, great prices, beautiful jewelry. JR is the only person I trust to do my piercings!I love piercings but I have been too nervous to get any after my last two experiences since they were so awful (painful process, constantly infected despite cleaning them, allergic reactions, and never healing up even after 6+ months). Even though I really wanted more piercings, I didnt want to chance it. The only place I trusted was in my hometown over 500 miles away, and I was willing to drive there to get a piercing if it meant it was going to be done RIGHT. Fortunately, I didnt have to travel that far to get a fantastic piercing!Blue Ring Studio is the ONLY place I have found with a solid 5 star review and I can see why! JR is such a cool guy and hes super nice! He is nonjudgmental, answers all questions (no matter how silly you think they are), and hes very honest and upfront with you about stuff. He talked to us about the type of jewelry he carries (whether theyre hypoallergenic, costs, care, etc.) and he worked hard to make sure the piercings worked for us. He marked where he thought the piercings would look best on us but let us know we could have them anywhere we wanted, since it was our piercing and our bodies. But he has such a good eye for this stuff and my piercings look so much better than I imagined! He also tells a lot of great stories, is really relaxed, and is generally a really nice person.I got both a nose ring and a helix piercing. I ended up choosing a beautiful 5-stone opal helix stud and a really pretty light green nose L-ring. The helix stud cost extra since it was a special piece, but its honestly so pretty and well made that I didnt care (and its a very reasonable price too actually). We are also moving soon and he said that he can even mail us any jewelry we want once we move, which I thought was super awesome since some other shops dont do that. But seriously, the prices are SO reasonable compared to other shops! And JR is so good at what he does that my piercings didnt even hurt that much. They arent even that sore/bruised the next day, which is awesome (seeing as my last piercings were sore for over half a year after I got them).My sister got a conch piercing the same time and changed out her nose stud for a hoop, and JR was so awesome in helping her with that.I also love how his studio is set up! Lots of band stuff, movie merchandise, music playing, artwork, etc. Im only disappointed that I discovered this place too late and Ill be moving soon! I would love to have JR do all of my piercings! Thank you Blue Ring Studio for making this experience so awesome!
I took my husband here to get his first tattoo and I was very pleased with the professionalism and cleanliness of the shop. JR did a fantastic job and was very attentive to the details. Well definitely be coming back!
Went in for my piercings on Black Friday for their amazing deals. I was very nervous, but JR was so professional and calm that it was unnecessary to be nervous. Left with not only the original piercings I wanted, but the tongue for my husband and a tattoo voucher. Very happy to have spent my money here to support the business and wontw go anywhere else here on out.
I had to have an MRI of my brain yesterday. Which means I had to take out some pretty complicated ear piercings for the procedure. You think I can put them back in? Yeah, no. I drive by Blue Ring every day on my way home. So I dropped in today to see if someone could help me. I fully expected them to not have time and schedule a time a different day. JR was no showed on a long appointment and helped me immediately. What a guy. Hes the only one in the shop. I learned so much about him, he genuinely cared to get to know me, and went 100% above what I was expecting as a non-client drop in. I got really nice new jewelery and he re-opened a nearly closed area I had given up on. He really made my whole day. No doubt in my mind hes the guy for the one and only tattoo I ever plan on getting, a wedding symbol for both my husband and I, on our ring fingers. I left in the best mood today. And feel like I made a really good friend. Cant wait to go back.
Best tattoo experience!! JR does a wonderful job!
JR was absolutely amazing! Shop is so clean and the owner is extremely professional. I got my nose pierced this evening and Im so happy with it. I will definitely be a returning customer for future piercings and tattoos and I will be referring everyone to JR!!
Very very amazing. I trust him so much that I let him free hand. I have 4 tattoos that he has freehanded . I even let him choose colors. He is amazing and I will not go anywhere else. He is payed back and interacts with you... He is amazing and hilarious!!! Love love love you work Jr.. keep it going!!!
JR did an amazing job to the beginning of my sleeve. Just what I wanted. Hes very clean and professional. Puts the customer at ease. Cant wait to finish.. Thanks JR
Came here for all three of my piercings and it’s the same result every time! This guy knows what he’s doing and will take good care of you. Will be coming back for more piercings, and the jewelry even better!
JR is the best. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a clean and beautiful tattoo. He’s very flexible and prices are amazing. He’s also a great guy and awesome to be around. Will use him a million more times. 😁
J.R. is literally the best person you could go to! I got a shen men piercing at a place back home about a week ago. It ended up swelling up a ton because the stud was too small. I was a walk-in at Blue Ring and J.R. fixed it right up, He was super friendly and did an awesome job. I am so grateful for the help, it is already feeling so much better thanks go him!
This place is amazing! I couldnt get my piercing back in so he helped me get it back in with no questions asked. He didnt even try to push me to buy their own jewelry; he wanted to do what was best for me. I decided to buy some saline & he didnt even charge the re-piercing fee! Amazing guy, super clean environment, Ill definitely be coming back!
Got my tongue done last week and Jr is awesome he showed me that he is very sanitary and that absolutely no needle is used twice would absolutely go back again. I will be booking some time in his chair in the future to get some ink therapy. If your in Caldwell and want a guy with an awesome eye for quality work stop by its worth it.
I came here on Tuesday to change my nose stud after accidentally snagging mine too hard, and I had a really gentle, friendly, and helpful experience! Amazing jewellery options, too!
J.R. is an amazing artist. His work is beautiful. I will definitely have work done there again.
Loved working with JR! Great session and couldn’t have picked a better guy for my first tattoo.
Not only does JR do phenomenal work but the shop is the cleanest I have ever been too. Every time I leave the studio, I feel like JR got exactly what I was looking for and exceeded all expectations. Definitely sending everyone I know his way.
RJ is a cool dude. Stopped by his store to take a look at his portfolio (he didnt have any walk-in spots but no biggie to me) instead he had amazing hand crafted jewelry and I scored a beautiful opal nose ring. Hes really warm and overall funny and friendly dude.
JR was awesome! Definitely recommend coming here...especially if youre a bit scared lol.
Jr did amazing! Better looking than what I had imagined! Love it!
JR made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process and his art is amazing. I would definitely recommend.
I go here for all my piercings he has done such a great job I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent piercer or tattoo artist he is very professional and always makes sure he does the best he can while piercing.
JR has some seriously amazing talent. Ever since I discovered his srudio, I dont let anyone else tattoo my skin. The entire atmosphere of the shop is just PHENOMENAL. Hands down recommend Blue Ring Studios to anyone looking to get some new ink done!!!
My mom and I wanted matching tattoos but she was nervous about it since it was her second one. We went in and he had her watch him open everything up from the packaging, everything was clean and new, and put everything together. After the tattoo was done, he had her watch him break the needle and properly dispose of it. He is fun, creative and trustworthy. I have six tattoos done by JR.
This guy is great. He makes you feel very comfortable, he ensures the tattoo is as painless as possible and he honestly offers a price that is so good I have to wonder about his profit margins. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to all. Thanks dude!
I’ve gotten my piercings done here & I absolutely love it! He never fails to impress me. He walks you through it and tells you what he’s doing! One of the most welcoming & friendliest people around!
6/5 stars! The owner was absolutely friendly and professional at all time during the visit with some friends and I while we were browsing and asking oh so many questions. Ended up getting my bridge done the same day and couldnt be happier with it! Was and still is 100% on point. Highly recommend Blue Ring studios to anyone and everyone!
He did mine and my friends septum the other day and he was really nice and talked us through the process and helped us find the right jewelry. I definitely recommend going here and I will definitely be going back for other piercings and tattoos. He was very clean and professional as well.
Very professional set up with a laid back vibe. Patient and willing to work with you on edits and never got frustrated with questions. Officially the cover up king and will be back for more. Also has one of the best jewelry selections around and can get the job done on the spot if you want to be pierced. Highly recommend.
I got my nose pierced here and it was great! Everything was super sterilized and the staff was super nice. They had a wide variety of jewlery and all of it is very pretty. I would definitely recommend this place. I will definitely be returning☺️
I came here to get a daith piercing and it was awesome. The owner was super nice and friendly and understanding. I was super nervous to do this but he was super chill and just made the whole thing pleasant. I love that he makes sure to show you that he throws needles away and opens them in front of you. 10/10 would do again
Best experience ever! He was fun to chat with and calmed our fears. Plus showed us how he keeps everything sterile. Will definitely go back. Amazing job! Cant say thank you enough!
My husband got a tattoo from J.R yesterday, and we, (Im the one who has to look at it!), couldnt be happier! J.R was as nice as could be while being fantastically professional - we knew we were in good hands. Thanks so much for helping to make a 29 year old dream come true!
This is a very clean and friendly shop to get pierced at. Everytime I have been here, for myself or for friends, everything has gone perfect. JR is a great piercer and would 10/10 recommend him even if you are scared of getting peirced.
Wasnt happy with these guys... I tried to set up an appointment to get my daith piercings done... Gave me a day and time to come in for a walk in appointment.... Went in after he told me to come in and was all booked up and I even showed up early to get there first.... Was really hoping to get done here.... But found someone a lot cheaper and with efficiency....I actually did ask for a appointment and you sent a text saying that I come in on Thursday with a walk in at 6 to 6:30. And I was there an half an hour early. I asked for an a appointment with no appointment needed by the owner. Im just not satisfied cause I tried for an appointment and I wasnt given one when I asked for one. And I arrive early so I can get in to get a spot. And some how I missed a spot before the scheduled time to be there... I was willing to pay the $ 70 dollars that you quoted me for. But I got push to the side instead. And i was hoping to quotes for tattoos as well but Im afraid Ill get the same line to come back some other time. Its to bad cause I really wanted to give you my business.
Jr has been my go to artist for almost 3 years and never fails to impress me! Hes personable and professional! Amazing work!
Just went to get my cartilage piercing today. Had a great experience. I was informed how to clean it, how long it would take to heal & saw how he disposed of the needle he used.I would definitely recommend coming here.
J.R. did an amazing job! He listened to us and shrared ways to make it look even better. He carried on a conversation with us which made the situation relaxing and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend him to anyone hands down.
I got my nose pierced and everything about it was awesome and easy! Thanks to this place I have an awesome nose piercing and had an amazing time there talking and looking at all the cool signs and items. Thank you!! I hope to go back for a tattoo some day. The art that I saw pretty awesome! Everything about this place was awesome!
Super friendly! Very easy to talk to, which is a big deal in my opinion. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Would recommend again and again. Definitely will be going here for all my tattoo and piercing needs!
JR was awesome and super professional! Made me comfortable and explained everything i needed to know. He answered all my questions and i had an awesome experience! Will definitely be back for lots more work in the future!
JR is fantastic. Always professional and funny. Hes pierced me twice now and it was quick, relatively painless. Will always recommend him!
10 out of 10 would recommend! JR not only does amazing work, hes a hell of a nice guy!
I got my nose pierced here and he is great. He cleans everything in front of you, so I thought that was a big plus. Hes got some cool and funky stuff set up in his shop! I highly recommend this shop for tattoos & piercings!(:
I went in to get my nostril pierced with my sister and it was very quick and easy. He was very professional and chill. I had a great experience and i will definitely be going back soon.
My son came in and got a cover up and I was inpressed at how well the cover up came out. So of course I went in and got me a tattoo. The shop is super clean and the atmosphere was amazing! Cant wait to get in for another tattoo.
An amazing experience, so kind and they keep a conversation going! really made sure I was comfortable and made me feel very well taken care of while she pierced my nose. 100% recommend and I’ll definitely be back for more in the future
Very fast, and very informative. Ive had a piercing done by another shop and they literally just threw me into it, however, here they made sure I knew exactly what was going to happen. The atmosphere is very laid-back, and the piercing job was great!
Blue ring has a awesome artist. Owner operater. That means he stands behind his work 110%. Everything he does is spot on from his awesome art work to his high quality machines. Good machines means a light hand not a drill session. I have been there several times and its the ONLY place I will go. Check him out!!!!
Contacted the shop to see if they had any walk-ins available and Jr responded promptly and I had a new piercing the next day! Super quick and clean, awesome guy, too! I’ll be going back!
Nice, clean shop run by the coolest, most down to earth artist! The evidence of JRs hard work and preparation lies in the rich details of his work. I cant wait to get more work done by Blue Ring Studio!
Amazing service, easy going attitude, and great accommodations when it comes to your tattoo ideas! Highly recommend!
JRs shop is awesome, his personality is outstanding, and his work is excellent! Highly recommend!
JR is such a humble laid back guy! He made me feel so comfortable, explained everything to me and was completely honest. I totally recommend him. Gave me reasonable prices also!
Love what I have got done so far from J.R. he has also done art work for me that has been above and beyond. Whether you need piercings, tatoos, even your motorcycle painted I would go to him everytime. He is really respectful and honest. I 100% recommend him for everything he does.- Jake Farrell
Amazing! I got my industrial done here with my friend. He took our walk in, was super friendly and down to earth. I love how it came out. The opal jewelry I got is so pretty. Great experience overall. Will definitely be back for more!
JR at blue ring has done a cover up and two other tattoos for me. its always been fun going to his shop and the experience of getting tattoos has been really great! I would reccomend blue ring studio to anyone for an awesome experience!
JR is amazing. I got 3 tattoos today, and they are spectacular, per usual :) I don’t trust anyone else with my piercings or tattoos.
JR goes above and beyond to make sure I get exactly what Im wanting every time. His work is unbelievable with great prices. Hes my go to guy and I recommend him to be yours too.
Great tattoo shop! Caldwell is so lucky to have such a talented, experienced artist like JR Flores! He listens to his customer and makes sure that his customer is satisfied with his work each and every time!
This guy is one of a kind. My wife and i love his work. Always a clean environment in his shop. Anybody looking for a unique tattoo of anykind he is your man for the job. He will make it your own, a piece that only you will have.
My son has been wanting his ear pierced since he was 6, he was amazing told my son every step he was doing was very professional but in a very personal way he was wondering will be going back to get work done by him as well so amazing
I got my second daith peircing here and let me tell you! This time was such a better experience. The place is clean has amazing things to look at while waiting. And my favorite part is he talked to me like I had known him for years after this being my first time in there. Im always nervous to get peircings and he just talked to me the whole time and made me forget about it. I 100% recommend coming here!
JR is amazing and great at what he does I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone who wants a tattoo or piercing !!
There were several issues with my new tattoo and JR refused to fix them or even acknowledge them. Please do not see this guy for your tattoos. Pompous and untalented.
Best experience hands down for the entire treasure valley! Very professional, clean, amazing customer service!! I had both of my daiths pierced, a dermal and new jewelry for my septum and left extremely happy! I will be back again VERY soon! Highly recommend! !!
JR is awesome! He is so nice & does excellent work! Will definitely come back!
Ive gotten all my peircings done at Blue Ring (standard lobes, two daiths, and a orbital). Everytime Ive come in it has been a fantastic experience. Hes very personable and open about the process of your peircings. I would highly reccomend to anyone in the valley. :)
Great pricing. Professional, clean and friendly atmosphere. Trust his judgement. Overall great experience, 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a piercing. Will be coming back to him and his shop in the future!
J.R. you are so knowledgeable and such a professional. Thank you for your patience as we worried “way too much” about piercings hurting. You are great!
Checked around about Blue Ring and really liked what I saw: family man, business owner, professional, and a great artist. Called ahead and talked with J.R. and decided to make the drive to have him do it right - and he did it! Highly recommend Blue Ring.
I got a nose piercing from J.R. today. He goes out of his way to make sure you are comfortable and know whats going on. He is kind and very clean. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a piercing.
Outstanding work, very detailed tattoo, I am very impressed with how awesome the tattoo looks. If your interested in getting a tattoo, this guy is safe and does clean work.
J.R. was AWESOME! He pierced my nose and did an amazing job. Super nice guy to chat with! Will definitely come back for tattoos and piercings!
Fantastic job... JR is a true artist. will definitely be going back for more:) 5 stars doesnt make his work any justice. Love this guy😃
Best tattoo I ever got! Highly recommend. J.R. is a badass!!
J.R. is an awesome person! He was really great the whole time and he does AMAZING work! Hands down the best tattoo experience that Ive ever had.
Super recommend J.R. he did my 1st tattoo and he did a great job, before starting anything he makes sure that the design of your tattoo is the one you want and he may add his own idea to make the tattoo look better. 😍
Amazing people, Amazing service! Took my daughter to get her first nose piercing and it went fast and easy. I love the atmosphere over all it was a great experience and cant wait to go back!
It took me 2 years to pick out my first tattoo and Id been in search for such a long time for the right tattoo artist and JR is truly amazing I will not let anyone else tattoo on me except for him. I highly recommend the talent that is here :)
The artist is not heavy-handed, very courteous to the want of the client very skilled tattooist would refer my friends and family highly recommended if you’re looking for a good high-quality tattoo
